New Roles:These roles may be added this round:Possessor - When this person dies they can choose one person to 'possess' and they can keep killing unless that person is killed. Neither the possessed or other killers may be informed who the possessed person is. The possessor must put clues into their kills who they have possessed.

Judge - This person has two votes per turn. This person needs to only vote once for their double vote to count or they can PM the host if they want to put their votes in for two different people.

Also we will be converting back to my original design for witnesses and False witnesses where they get the identity instead of clues.

The lynch voting will close precisely at10:00 PM Eastern Time (GMT -5 hours)Any votes marked/kills sent after this time will not be counted.Updates posted shortly thereafter

Signups, however, close whenever I feel like it, and there is no limit to how many people may sign up.

Welcome to Thuntworld Serial Killers, a forum-based murder-mystery game where people die on a daily basis and wild theories are tossed around like rag dolls!

The host will secretly select participating players at random to play the role of the killer, sent to them via private message. A killer’s job is to craft a written passage (or screenshot, soundclip, artwork, or video, if they’re feeling particularly crafty) every day and PM it back to the host. The first of these is what we call the dummy kill - this will give an idea of the killer’s writing style. Every day after that, the killer may select one person to die that round, working it into their kill. The host will present the kills to the entire thread at a specified time each day.

The citizens of the thread must then vote for the person they feel is guiltiest. This person will be lynched at the end of the round. If the innocent citizens lynch all the killers, the citizens win! If the killers evade notice and kill off enough people to outnumber the innocents, the killers win! Each round tends to last one week. Use anything from poltergeists to kitchen utensils, from orange juice to acidic poison, and from simple stab wounds to nursery rhymes. And remember, keep your identity a secret! Kills must also contain at least one clue per turn to the killer's identity (this can be as convoluted as you wish, but must be there).

* The host is always right. No exceptions.*The host has the right to interpret item effects and trowel effects as he/she sees fit.* The number of killers each round is determined by the number of players, as is the number/inclusion of any additional roles. The more citizens, the more roles!* All roles are chosen by random selection and given out secretly by PM.* Roles must be accepted, if someone does not accept their role within 18 hours the role will be given to someone else. * The citizens must try and work out who the killers are and vote accordingly. The person with the highest number of votes gets lynched at the same time kills are posted. The host then reveals if the person was a killer or not.* Every day each killer sends in a single kill. The host then updates this post to show who has died and posts the kills and a lynch, if there is one.* If by the end of the round the killers outnumber the citizens, or there is only one of each left, the killers win.* The list of players at the top of this post is updated with every murder and lynch to show those who are alive and those who are dead.* Citizens who sign up to be in the game must actively participate in the game.* To sign up, post a sign up list with your display name added to it.* If something comes up suddenly and you no longer wish to participate BEFORE the game has started, simply remove your name from the list. If you change your mind AFTER the game has started, PM the host and she will graciously remove you from the round.* Citizens who do not post votes for 3 updates will be slaughtered mercilessly. For example, if Lord Cummerbund posts all during the 1st update, but goes mysteriously silent after the 2nd, and stays so during the 3rd and 4th, he will be killed in the 5th update.* Player may miss no more than 4 votes, this includes abstaining. Players are also required to write at least 3 sentences per day. Participation helps the citizens.... Really!* Player may abstain from voting, but this should be limited to less than 50% of the time.* Players may not vote for themselves as a method of avoiding voting for another player without abstaining. Any player who votes for himself or herself is considered to have abstained.* Players voting for anything other than a living player are also considered to have abstained.* There are no Citizen Suicides.* Don't go making a sock puppet account just for this game. I will only accept kills sent from the account I have down as the killer.* The host is always right. No exceptions.

(Special Cases can be dealt with, so PM the host if you have any questions.)

I'm a Moderator in Thunt's ustream channel, if you need a hand drop one of us a line, we're all always willing to lend a hand.Come talk about the latest kills in the chat here.Was detective for 1 turn in round 7, narrowed one killer down to 6 possibilities.Was detective in Round 31... and was vigilante killed by one of the citizens just as we were about to win.Round 8 Winner was Caine.

Zombified on Turn 81Come to Goblins Games for some fun. There's murder and mayhem, teamwork, flag capturing, and role playing galore.Me`me about the new bot: "I defy authority figures I helped to engineer."

i just noticed you play this a little different than used to me in real world.

Do i get it right: if there are two killers, they kill two citizens every turn?In my real life version, everbody closes his eyes, except for the host. Then he tells the killers to open their eyes. Now they know each other. The have to point out ONE target together silently. So no matter if you have 1,2 or more killers, only one citizens dies. This makes the turns even for both parties (every party kills only 1 person each turn), and you don't need as much players to have a game lasting more than a 1-2 turns.

How about us playing with this options? The killers are named to each other by the host, then they can talk via PM and then both send their decision whom to kill to the host by pm. if they can't decide on one target, the host flips a coin to see which of the targets gets killed.

Nerre this is a completely different game. It has evolved into an awesome and quite balanced game. Fact is being a killer is no easier here than in Mafia since the killers have to give proof of their identity and are found quickly if they don't play smart.It's a bit complex but this is a RPG forum after all

Except if Odd is generous and we also have true loves, true and false witnesses, a bloodhound, a hench ducky... okay, maybe everyone has a role

We'll see. When do signups close? Or have they actually closed and it means there are shmucks after all?

I think they probably are, since Odd said they close at 10 pm on the 15th, and it was already 8:13 am on the 17th when you posted your sign-up. So you seem to have missed the deadline for signing up, Reads. Sorry about that.

Why? Because he asked who the killer is, which means he is the killer. We all know that only the killer wants to know who everyone thinks is the killer before they start killing, because it allows them to focus on individuals who are less likely to be lynched.*

We caught you Kelten. So just give up
